Pros: Set a new standard for the squad based military tactical shooter video game genre.
Cons: There are now many more recent titles in the series.
Summary: The original Ghost Recon is far from your normal tactical shooter. It has a few things that distinguish it from the rest. You have two squads at your command, Alpha and Bravo; each has a squad leader and two additional squad mates. Each squad operates ... read more

Pros: Still the best tactical shooter
Cons: none
Summary: I was a fan of shooters but only know of Doom and like. When I first picked this up I became obsessed. This Ghost Recon game got me hooked on Xbox LIVE. After using a mouse and keyboard combination for so long I was surprised at how well the game ... read more

Pros: Multiplayer was addicting. Great Gameplay.
Cons: Graphics are outdated, other than that, great!

Pros: Graphics, sound, gameplay, realistic, xbox live.
Cons: controls can be a bit weird, sometimes it's difficult.
Summary: I like Ghost Recon. I think that it's another wonderful Tom Clancy game, which is no surprise considering the other games that Clancy has made recently. Ghost Recon is comparable to other Clancy games in every way. It's a lot like Rainbow 6, but it's ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, Team or Individual play, XBOX "Live" compatible
Cons: Sore hands and eyes from playing RECON to long!!!!
Summary: Great game for any fan of "military" or first person "shooter" games. By far the Ghost Recon series is the best series of games for XBOX LIVE. You can play as an individual or in a team format. You can also host your own game if needed. What makes Gho ... read more

Pros: Graphics, sound, ability to play over and over without being bored. Guns!!!
Cons: Resource hog.

Pros: Great Cooperative teamwork, Stunning xboxlive service, very realistic.
Cons: Ammo depletion at times, 4 shots and your dead.

Tom Clancy games just keep getting better and better. Ghost Recon is definitely not an exception. The game synchronizes cooperative teamwork with fellow squad members, and extreme realism. Because the game is Tom Clancy, you ... read more

Pros: realistic, not as difficult as Splinter Cell, interesting missions
Cons: background graphics, menus, maps, not as difficult as Splinter Cell
Summary: I picked up Ghost Recon because I'm not ready for Splinter Cell. I've always preferred low-thing games (Tony Hawk, Unreal, etc).
The premise of the game is thus: You are on a covert ops team deployed in eastern Europe. In 2008 there's ... read more

Pros: -Great online play, and it's as far from a mindless FPS as you can get.
Cons: -some problems with scenery drawing, Single-player mode never changes...
Summary: I won't rehash what the other reviewers have said: this game is about realism before big guns. One shot, one kill, sneaking around, etc.
I should mention that I'm a biased reviewer. I absolutely abhor the current state of FPS games--they're ... read more

Pros: Excellent and realistic gameplay. Multiplayer gameplay supported.
Cons: The game is too short in singleplayer and soon has you buying the expansion.
Summary: If you have played Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear then you will know what to expect with Ghost Recon. You are a part of a counter terrorist group called The Ghosts. Play 15 challenging and realistic singleplayer missions or play online with your ... read more

Pros: Singleplayer
Cons: Multiplyer (XBox Live). Hard to find games, and Ubisoft doesn't admit their software is buggy.
Summary: A good game single player.
But multiplayer on XBox live is terrible. The first day I couldn't find a game. Then I went to XBox's support forums to find a way to resrict a game search to find more games (yeah, it makes no sense, but works). ... read more

Pros: Incredible graphics, great concept
Cons: too realistic, not interactive enough
Summary: Ok, this game was a great idea, it really was. The designers aimed for realism, and in that aspect they hit the nail on the head. But geez, if I wanted to die in 3 hits or less every time, I'd join the real army. Being sneaky is fun, but hey, let's face ... read more

Pros: Killer gameplay, INTENSE action, excellent controls
Cons: Really bad menu set up
Summary: Ghost Recon was the PC Game of the Year for many in 2001. For me it is dang close to being the Xbox Game of the Year for 2002. It's that good. Now, I am going to mention some flaws so don't get all upset, I love the game.

Pros: Excellent graphics and gameplay
Cons: Not long enough for the price
Summary: I really liked this game, however there were a few drawbacks. The biggest problem I had with the game was that it wasn't long enough. Granted it took a couple tries to complete some missions, once I got to the end I was thirsty for more.

Pros: Great graphics and sound, very difficult missions
Cons: Sometimes too hard
Summary: Ghost Recon is the latest title to follow in the Rainbow Six games. It is a 3D shooter, but not in the style of Quake or Unreal. With Ghost Recon, you must use stealth and smarts, rather than charge in shooting. If you go into Rambo mode, you won’t ... read more
